I just returned from CKU-Detroit! Had a great time with dd and bf staying at Dearborn Hyatt. Great classes....WOW did we learn! So much info, inspiration and ideas packed in the three day event. Although I have attended CKU in Provo, Utah and Nashville, Tennesee, this event offered a different format.
Thurs. we were able to create 6 X 6 pages for our "My Favorite Things" album at the Product Demonstrations. The album was included in our student goodie bag! That evening we attended the Tailgate Party where we received several more goodies, including a laminating/cutting tool from Purple Cow. Oh, yes, and we had LOTS of FREE ice cream from Skinny Cow!
Friday - classes all morning and afternoon. Was able to begin an fun chip-board album to hold my 'goals'. Completed a cute circle album that looks like "Mickey Mouse" in the Real Magic class that was sponsored by Reminisce! Also created an accordion fold mini book with a 'spinner' on the cover that was sponsored by Imagination. (now I know what to do with all those spinners that we have from old board games!) Cropper Hopper inspired us to Get Organized!
Friday evening we attended the Study Hall Crop. Each of us were able to get photos organized for our Album Track on Saturday. Also did work on other projects.
Saturday was an all day Album Track with Becky Higgins from CK. She was so great. We enjoyed creating a COMPLETE 22 page album in 8 hours! Well almost! Still need to add some journaling and a few photos. But it was great to create "a Snapshot" of me right now - 2007! Becky encouraged us to be sure to right down our thoughts and info to leave for our family and future generations.
Saturday evening my dd and I were able to stay and crop and spend some quiet time together. It was very special for me to be able to share this time doing something together that we both enjoy. I hope making fond memories for her as well as for me.
